Application Note:
Breaking the Multi-Gbps Performance Wall Without Any Impact on
Your Applications
This Application
Note explains how 6WINDGate™ embedded networking software
for multicore processors solves major technical and economical
challenges for the IT industry:
| How to manage, at an
affordable cost, increasing networking bandwidth while
limiting the impact on applications and preserving huge
investments spent to develop these
applications? |
Telecoms / IT have convergent
networking requirements:
- There is strong growing demand for advanced
telecommunications services for wired and wireless Next
Generation Networks (NGN) infrastructures. Within a few
years, billions of fixed and mobile devices will be
connected via the Internet. New innovative Internet services
based mainly on images and video will be launched, and
intelligence in the network will be required to
differentiate service offerings. All these services are
going to be deployed over full IP-based architectures.
- IP is now the de facto standard for enterprise
information systems. All equipment including security
gateways, VoIP and ToIP systems, Web 2.0 applications,
storage systems, etc. rely on a sophisticated IP
communications layer.
This Telecoms / IT convergence is going to tear
down barriers between both worlds and significantly simplify
and accelerate the development of converged services at a
lower cost.
Multicore (MC) technology is providing a
hardware solution to meet the requirements for high
performance packet processing either for telecoms and IT with
two main flavors of products that can be combined:
- Highly integrated MC processors (CPU, network interface
and built-in accelerators) provide a complete networking
solution for packet processing
- Generic MC processors provide a less integrated
networking solution but more processing capabilities for
applications
Multicore packet processing software has to
address two main challenges: How to break the multi-Gbps
performance wall while limiting impact on the
applications?
This Application Note explains how
6WINDGate:
